About this fabric

The close, narrow texture gives this Zinc Textile fabric a softly ribbed appearance without a bold motif. Charcoal-grey threads create fine tonal movement, while the cooler taupe notes stop the surface from reading as flat black. Light catches the vertical lines unevenly, bringing a restrained sheen and quiet depth to the colourway. With no additional performance specifications supplied, its fine linear appearance makes it particularly suited to considered drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Etch Mineral for full-length curtains in a cool contemporary room, pairing its smoky charcoal tone with pale stone walls, brushed metal and warm timber. The vertical texture can also add subtle height behind a soft upholstered seat.

Use this cool, mineral-toned grey for understated curtains that let its fine vertical texture add quiet depth.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Etch Mineral without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
